Active Directory Management
Document governance and lifecycle responsibilities for on-prem directory services.
Overview
Unclear ownership of on-premises directory identities, groups and configuration causes inconsistent lifecycle decisions, uncontrolled changes and unclear risk acceptance. Teams commonly defer decisions or act informally, creating audit findings and friction in operational processes.
Active Directory Management records who holds decision authority, who accepts risk and who is accountable for lifecycle events within the on-premises directory domain. The solution documents governance assignments and lifecycle responsibilities in an auditable form and explicitly defines activities out of scope, such as routine operational delivery, end-user support, application identity stores and procurement.
What this solution helps you achieve
Restore directory services
Recover directory objects, configurations and states to minimise downtime and data loss.
Automate identity lifecycle
Handle joiners, movers and leavers consistently and securely through automated identity workflows.
Gain identity visibility
Understand how identities are used, misused and changing across the environment.
Reduce identity-based risk
Minimise the likelihood and impact of breaches caused by compromised, excessive or misused identities.
Prove access compliance
Demonstrate who has access to what, why they have it, and who approved it — at any point in time.
Reduce admin effort
Cut the time and effort required to manage permissions across directories and systems.
Identify excessive access
Detect over-privileged users, toxic permission combinations and unnecessary access rights.
Reduce privilege creep
Prevent the gradual accumulation of access rights as users change roles or responsibilities.
